Summary

The term "Disclosure" in the UFO community generally refers to the long-awaited event when the government, specifically the U.S. Government, finally tells the world that UFOs exist, along with everything they know about extraterrestrials, or so enthusiasts of the topic would hope. While we wouldn't suggest holding your breath until "Full Disclosure" happens, there has been an interesting, recent development worth noting. On December 17, 2017, the New York Times published a curious article titled, "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program." Apart from the mild surprise that such a serious publication as the New York Times would bother running with any story that would give consideration to such a "preposterous" idea as UFOs being real, is the bigger surprise that from 2007 until 2012, $22 million dollars of U.S. taxpayer money was spent annually on something called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Although funding for this program officially ceased in 2012, it was also revealed that the program still exists and continues to investigate credible reports of possible UFO encounters. Join us tonight as we sit down with friend, collaborator and fellow podcaster Rob Kristofferson, host of his own show called Our Strange Skies as we discuss the significance of a major revelation that there is a serious military effort to investigate what many believe is Science Fiction, but what some "in the know" think may be a threat against which we have no defense.

0:02.8	the Great Courses Plus, Zip Recruiter, Blue Apron, and our contributors at patreon.com.
0:08.3	There are listeners of Estonishing Legends that prefer only a segment of the topics we cover,
0:13.9	avoiding ideas that they don't think will interest them. Others, in spite of that disinterest,
0:19.2	will still listen to a show on something that at first blush, they think they might not enjoy,
0:25.1	just to see if it will surprise them. We hear from those folks frequently.
0:30.3	They'll send an email or post a comment on Facebook or Twitter saying,
0:34.8	I honestly didn't think I would care about shadow people, or the Nazi bell,
0:39.1	but that show was compelling and now I can't stop thinking about it.
0:44.6	Tonight's show is one of those topics. Just before the holidays, the venerated New York Times
0:51.6	founded in 1853 and winner of 122 Pulitzer Prizes did something that no other newspaper of their
0:58.9	caliber has ever done before. They published a front page story that was up until the moment it
1:05.0	went out about a topic that has been consistently labeled as speculative or fabricated. UFOs.
1:14.2	A story that will have you reconsider that something Scott and I already know,
1:18.8	everything is connected.
1:29.0	Welcome back to Estonishing Legends. I'm Scott Philbrook and this is Forest Burgess.
1:41.0	I'm not embarrassed or ashamed or sorry I got this thing going. I think it's one of the good
1:45.0	things I did in my congressional service. I've done something that no one has done before.
1:49.8	Former Congressman Harry Reid, who, the day before the time story broke, tweeted,
1:54.4	the truth is out there. Join us tonight for the first part of our series on some startling
1:59.5	recent news that you may have missed at the end of 2017.
2:08.3	And we're back. Yes. Well, I wanted to give a rousing good welcome back here. And we're back.
